The Experience Of Mrs. Peters.

Mrs. Peters had ills,
Mrs. Peters had chils,
Mrs. Peters she going to die;
They dosed her with pills,
With powder and squs.
With remedies wet and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But of them cured hers
Their names and their number nobody could tell;
And she soon might have died.
Put some Pellets were tried.
That acted like magic. and then she got we'll.
The magic Pellets" were DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets (the original Little Liver
Pills) They cured Mrs. Peters, and now she
wouldn't be without them.

/ ONE by one the observances of simple
lite are passing away; the hard practically
of the present day robs them of their poe
try and they are gradually dropped. The
maiden who fifty years ago received no
token on the l4th of February of lovers
preference, would have felt the omission,
and her more fortunate companions would
not have been slow in reminding her of
the slight. Valentines were then trophies
i OF victory; afterwards they degenerated
into vehicles of burlesque and vulgar
spite, and finally, being entirely berett of
the sweet, pure, sentimentslity of ancient
usage, they have fallen into disuse among
the upper class, being of such nature as
only to fl he purposes Of the Unrefned
and evil minded. TIE dear old saint is
scarcely known in polite circles, and the
aristocratiC maiden has no hopes to be
disappointed when the post-man passes
the door. The decsdence Of pretty
traditional observances is to be de-
plored, but it is the legitimate result of an
abuse of granted privilege, as in this
custom which had its origin in natures
own legends, its use hiss been so per-
verted as to render its discontinuance q
necessity. The new nations recognize
no slcredness in antiquity, and as a con-
sequence the ceremonies of Halloween,
St. Valentines day and others are to
them meaningless. There is much of
lies beauty sacrificed at the altar of
utility, and tried in the crucible of
"Does it pay ?" these simple pleasures
with much that is legendary among older
nations will perish.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Feb.
23.-The Board of Railroad Commits
sioners have made public their report on
the recent Vermont Central disaster.
They fix the number of passengers on the
train at seventy seven, and the train
hands and mail and express messengers
at twelve, or eighty-nine in all. They
give q list of the killed and wounded,
which does not differ from that already
given in these dispatches. They say that
a. point $40 feet from the abutmeut 81
the south end OF the bridge, while the
train was moving at speed of less tina n
twelve miles an hosr, the rear sleeper,
Pilgrim, was thrown from the rails, but
kept to the raodbed until it came upon
the bridge, when the rear end swung to
the right side of the track to
the deck of the bridge and
thence to the frozen river below,
distance OF forty-three feet, drawing
with it the other sleeper and two coac es
in front. They find that the train properly
slowed up before reaching the bridge;
that at the first warning of danger the
conductor pulled the signal to stop; the
engineer applied the air brakes promptly
but, seeing the rear sleeper falling, he
released them and opened the throttle,
thus saving part of the train. They find
that broken rail, the defect in which
was not visible, caused the sleeper Pill
grim to leave the track, and probably
broke the axle. They. recommend the
use of steam and electricity to heat and
light cars. =

Its Effect on Oshkosh.

Chauncy NJ. Depew, one Of the wisest
railway presidents in the country, in an
interview in the World to-day, expresses
the opinion that the Interstate commerce
law, if properly enforced, will be pro-
ductlve of good all around. He forgot
to say that its rigid enforcement will be
a sad blow to the pass tisnds, and will
probably break 10 the migratory theatri-
cal companies which swoop upon the
provinces under the title of "Combina-
tions." Cheap fares and cut rates are
their salvation. The resident of
Oshkosh will have to visit Chicago here
after when he wishes TO feast his eyes
upon the dazzling delights of the Black
Crook or regale his intellectual soul
with the repasts provided by the immortal
Shakespeare.

SOCIAL DECADENCE.

The scenes recently enacted, in the Sell
ate OF Indiana, and in social gatherings
at Washington, lead to the question, are
we retrograding, and is it q truth that
civilization moves in @ circle, and that
which has been taken tor a right line is
only On elongated curve which finally
brings all things to the original starting
point? The term "hoosier" has had a
provincial meaning, snd has not been
considered q term complimentary when
applied to an individual. When, how
ever, it becomes necessary to place an
Indiana Senator in charge Of the door
keeper, and for the president OF that body
to leave his seat and denouuce, in no
measured terms, fraud in state politics,
there seems to be reason for the mean
ing usually conveyed in the use of this
epithet. Texas is frontier state and has
long been held up as the abode of roughs,
but the members>of the Indiana Legisla-
ture might visit Austin with profit, and

The Damascus blade is always
better than the bludgeon, for when
welded by the arm of skill the
cut is clean and to the red. That these
disgraceful scenes have marked the leg
islative halls ola western state, may not
be matter of surprise to the culture of
the east, but Whist will be thought of the
social life at the national capital, where
the graces of eastern culture should be
apparent? The papers TEEN with &C
counts of guests coming unlimited and
swooping down hungry horde at boards
where there was no provision made for
for them; that even the mistress OF the
White House has had to discontinue after
noon receptions for her friends, although
times were set apart for the general pub
lie, and that Miss West was forced point
eddy to declare to persons entering her
house at private concert that it was
strictly of private character. With

such evidences as these the conviction is
forced upon one that after all society does
not progress-it only revolves. The civ
ilization of Persia, Egypt, Greece and
Rome, where is it? and do these signs
portend that the boosted cultivation OF
the nineteenth century is nearing the
curve where the tendency is backward to
original savagery? With Washington and
Indianapolis as samples, the query is of
serious import.

THERE has been considerable discus

tsinsble speed in railway travel. 1t may
be of interest to know the result of re-
cent rigid test made in England, which
resulted in establishing the fact that al
records of more than IS miles to the hour
were due to inaccurate timing or other
errors. 9-foot single driving wheel
gave so miles to an hour down an incline
of l in 30, with no load, while S-foot
wheels could only reach IS miles down l
in 100, and on level or ascending grade
so miles would be the maximum.

FORT WORTH, TEX, Feb 3, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette:
AS many of your townspeople button,
hole me to know how like Fort Worth,
l will say this: Ny health is much better
than in Michigan. You have the finest
water have drank in any state. Your
city is about the center of the United
States east and west; it is also the center
of the cattle belt, and every one will say
it is railroad center, and | think the
cattle will be slaughtered here and
shipped to deep water, ami save haul of
1000 miles via Chicago or Kansas City, at a
cost of 1925 car for live cattle. The
! cattle interest is what has built those
cities to large extent. There is also q
large country on the west, and in fact all
around, as far as am acquainted, that
will center their produce here. 1 am
aware that Texas has hard name in the
eastern states on account of the
drouth, and eastern papers ex-
aggerate on the articles in Texas
papers. This has kept much capital and
immigration from the state, hut after all
of the drawbacks 1 think Texas will over
come them all very soon. l think the
town very healthy and mas many modern
improvements. There Is much more |
would like to say but time is limited.
The real estage men are very courteous.

statement of few days ago that every
state legislature considering the pro-
hibition question this year has provided
for the submission of prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment to popular vote.
The Legislature of Missouri has recently
refused to pass submission resolution.
The Democratic party dominates in the
Missouri Legislature and at the popular

the Democratic party that will suffer.

would reiterate all 1t has ever said of
this weapon of tyranny. No man who
loves liberty and knows what true liberty
is can indorse the boycott; it is the
weapon sharpened by secret committee
and, as the guillotine cut off heads IN the
name of liberty, SO this instrument works
injury in the name of right. The only
way to keep it down is to keep it down,
and as long as THE GAZETTE has a voice,

THE A. and N. COLLEGE.

Though declared branch of the Uni
versity of Texas by the constitution, the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege has, through false economy on the
part of those who should have fostered
its plans ana purposes, been crippled in
its work and made the object of unjust
criticism for its opponents.
Unfortunately for the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, it was for years the
only state institution OF learning in
Texas, and a special interest in depart
ments purely literary was encouraged by
the faculty until the agricultural and
mechanical departments became of sec
ondary consideration, and but for the
name would have lost its identity as a
training school for farmers, mechanics
and artisans. Happily for the lnstitu-
ton, however, it was separated
from the literary and law depart
ments by the establishment of the
University at Austin, and its management
passed into the hands of men who were in
sympathy with the ides of practical ard
progressive education in these branches
of industry as contemplated by the Legis-
lature authorizing It's establishment.
Colonel T. NJ. Scott, financial agent Of
the board, is practical agriculturist,
and realizing the worth Of such az insti-
tuition in great and growing state like
Texas, has been untiring in his efforts to
correct the false opinion gradually gain
Ing strength that the Agricultural and Me
chanical College, as en- industrial school,
WAS failure. Aided by it's friends, and
its work since it was made 4 separate in
stitution, commemorate progress has been
made toward the position it deserves to
hold in TIE estimation of the people. Pub
lie sentiment shows healthy growth in
its favor, and more liberal policy on the
part of the stste toward this much neg
lected institution is demanded by the
great body Of our people who desire, by
education and practical training, to fit
their sons for useful and honorable call
ing
